訪訪客After staying here in August with a friend and coming back in November, I could not have had a more different experience. This time we got a tired old Lannai Room, old furniture, musty smell, yukky bathroom - was not happy at all. We were also in the pool the night we were there and they came around with the big mosquito spray fumigating everything, which was fine in itself. We made a beeline for our room so we would not get covered in spray and got to our room and shut the door. There were so many window and door gaps that the room filled up with a haze from the spray, not to mention the smell. So yes the hotel has potential - would I stay there again or recommend it - probably not.
訪訪客We have just completed a magical 10 days at Wyndham Jivva Beach. We are long term Wyndham members (owners) and have stayed at many of their hotels and resorts. Jivva Beach rates at the top of the list for us. It's just far North East of Denpasar to be out of the rat race but still within easy reach of Sanur and other tourist attractions. Apart from its idyllic setting, the staff were fantastic and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. A special mention to the head chef Gusti who has a wealth of experience at 5 star international hotels. His leadership ensured a high level of cuisine at every meal. And Wijaya, the food and beverage manager led a team of wait staff which would be hard to beat anywhere. There are no shops close by, but we booked half day tours using local drivers at very reasonable prices (IDR 600,000 for 5 hours), so we were able to visit many local attractions. We also took the ferry to the island of Penida across the Badung Strait ~ well worth the time to do this. We were surprised that the beach (which is very close), is made of black sand ~ not a problem for us, but maybe for some. In essence, we love Wyndham Jivva and intend to visit again in 2024.
